When we think of organizational change, most people think about resistance. That’s because we see the outer edges and try to resist, manipulate or direct energy against undesired actions. We burn up energy ‘trying to change’ but ignore the physics of a top. Get the middle to move a fraction and the whole system wobbles. Try to get the edge to change and you get burned up trying. Dr. David Martin has transformed business, governments and personal relationships for over 3 decades in over 120 countries by introducing wobbles. By discerning the ‘center of mass’ of the systems that need transformation and introducing a subtle shift in the middle, he’s changed the transformation game. You – that’s right, one person – can make a difference. Learn from the wobble ninja the secrets of transformation from the inside out.
"You see, 'self-help' and 'change' are about adjudicating ‘better’ from a perspective of ‘worse’ – seeing redemption through broken lenses. We’re missing the narratives and the tools to consider the perfection of now and recognize that its perceived imperfections are most probably our projection of ‘absent’ from the present. We are addicted to the reflex of freedom never bathing in the fountains of liberty in which all is functioning in every moment in its perfection."

We live on a spinning top. The earth’s axis tilts about 23 degrees and the wobble around the axis gives us summer and winter. The most fundamental change we perceive in life – the passage of seasons – is because earth wobbles. When we were children, we played with spinning tops. As they slowed, we saw them wobble. Organizations ‘core values’ keep things spinning along. When leaders vary from those core values, institutions wobble. Insects that want their offspring to thrive lay their eggs in the flower of fruit trees so their larvae can eat their way into vitality. Change from the center gives life to what comes next! Wobble is nature’s model of transformation. We’ve been told that “change” is “fearful” but that’s when people choose add friction to the dance that is possible with wobbles of transformation. By instituting wobbles – the process of subtly changing the rotating mass from within – we can transform lives and systems without burning up or burning out. Impactful, natural transformation happens from the inside out. It’s time to Wobble!
